DescriptionCVE.org

The DS Ad Rotator WordPress plugin through 0.8 does not perform any capability check, nonce verification, or file-type validation on its image upload handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including PHP, to a web-accessible directory, which can lead to remote code execution.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in the DS Ad Rotator WordPress plugin (all versions through 0.8) allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including PHP scripts, because the image upload handler enforces no capability check, no nonce verification, and no file-type validation. Any anonymous visitor can drop a web shell into a web-accessible directory and execute it for full server compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires only that the DS Ad Rotator plugin (version ≤0.8) is installed and active on a reachable WordPress site; the upload endpoint is unauthenticated and needs no user interaction. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) is internally consistent with the description: fully remote, no privileges, no user interaction, trivial complexity, and total compromise via RCE - this is a genuine critical-priority issue rather than an inflated score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis - the vulnerability affects all versions through 0.8 with no fixed release cited in the input, so the most reliable action is to deactivate and remove the DS Ad Rotator plugin entirely until a patched version is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all WordPress installations for DS Ad Rotator version 0.8 or earlier; deactivate the plugin on all affected sites and preserve server logs for forensic review of upload activity to wp-content/uploads and related directories. …
